#to give me either an anemo piece or an on set crit damage piece so i can give it a shot🫠

[electric-plants]

ughhhhh the artifacts i’ve been prepping for furina are really NOT rolling how i want them to at all🫠

[primofate]

i'm trying to motivate myself to farm his bis set but it's honestly really hard (ar 59, burnt out as hell). That and I don't really have a team comp built around bloom reactions so it's not as efficient.

Also the information I give below is my personal suggestion, also gotten from several guides I've followed.

As of now, I'd recommend a mix of any of the 2-pieces between the ones that give +15% anemo damage bonus and +18% atk, or 4 piece shimenawa, if you don't mind not having his burst up as much. Obviously the newest one is the best for him but ya girl's tired™ with artifact farming so he'll take what he can get for now.

For weapons, aside from his signature, all of the 5-star catalysts with atk/crit substats can work for him (kagura's, lost prayer, skyward atlas). 4 stars include the dodoco tales, the widsith, solar pearl, and mappa mare—the blackcliff catalyst works too but it's not as viable.

The team comps... Imma be honest with you, mine is also clunky. It's recommended that you have a good shielder because he's super vulnerable to getting interrupted— i haven't tried him out for abyss because I don't have a good comp for him, and also because faruzan never came home (plus apparently she's only good at c6) so his damage isn't like floor 12 clear worthy just yet. One team comp I wanted to try is double pyro + anemo with venti, bennett and ideally thoma for the shield, but I don't have thoma built 💀 there are others like a taser team with a hydro character + two electro ones (ex. Fischl + beidou), but again, ideally he needs a shield and I don't have beidou built either. Another is freeze with layla, but I don't have her. I have diona built but her shield isn't as strong.

TL;DR I don't have a solid group recommendation, sorry ;-;

Anyway yeah, here's my take on his builds. You can probably find tons of these in the internet already, anyways. Sorry for rambling in your inbox!

I'm going to ramble as well! Haha!

Weapon wise I managed to get his signature so I'm alright with that.

I'm gunna put a keep reading on here so it's not too long

Artefacts...Well, just like you it'll take some time to farm the new domain so I've slapped a 4pc Viridescent on him for now. But also I don't really know if I want the new artefact on him, I know it's the ideal one but I think Viridescent is better for elemental reactions and I love playing with that (except that I don't even have much proper elemental reactions with his current team comp, lol. So I'm still going to farm for the new artefact)

I also wanted to do double pyro with benny and thoma but just like you my thoma isn't built and I don't think I really want to build him if he's not a very flexible team player (e.g. If I can't put him in other teams I'm not gunna bother) So my current team for Scara right now is Yunjin (for the Normal Attack and Attack Speed buff) + Zhongli (for the shield) so that gives me double Geo with 15% damage increase and the last character I usually switch it in and out depending on what elemental reaction I want plus the talent effect on Scaramouche. The problem with this team comp is that it doesn't really play a lot with elemental reactions hahaha it just seems very limited, but it works, since my Yunjin and Zhongli has been properly built since forever and they are very flexible characters. Much like you I've been constantly looking at other shielders though, to at least get a non-geo character to be a shield (I always feel like putting a Geo in an anemo forward team is a waste but I don't have a lot of choices at the moment haha)

True that there are a lot of online guides but most of them rely on Faruzan! That and they almost always assume that we have all the characters built and don't really mix and match a lot of diff characters so its nice to hear what others have!

I'm surprised you didn't get Faruzan tho! Haha.... I C6ed her before I even got Scaramouche...I guess he was being real stubborn, lost my 50-50 to Diluc before I got him but eh, I like Diluc.

Thanks for your time! :D

great news! (well for me at least but anyway)

i was able to get chong to deal 77k today. BY FAR his highest crit on record. how i did it? by going double anemo with sucrose and giving her ttds. and also shuffling chong's artifacts around so he has 160% crit dmg again. although in doing so his crit rate goes to shit cuz hoyo doesn't want me to have crit rate apparently. like way back when, i had to do a whole bunch of trials to get him to crit. but this time when he did, his highest crit was 77k, and 66k on average. he also did like 40k crits on his skill, which is pretty cool.

i also did some more testing of this reshuffled build using tenacity dehya instead of ttds sucrose. his highest crit in this team was 76k, so not too far off. i don't know how the damage is actually calculated in this game, but i assume it's because the combination of pyro resonance + tenacity gives 45% atk, while r5 ttds gives 48% atk. but considering my sucrose isn't built (i gave her 2pc gilded 2pc wanderer's and some of them weren't leveled), i think this double anemo team might make chong's burst get higher crits if i got sucrose sorted with full em. in theory, dehya could work the same if she held wgs and chong held a crit weapon like redhorn. but wgs is like if ttds only worked 30% of the time because of the way the effect procs, so it's not the most consistent buff.

bit of an aside, but i wonder if sucrose can actually use the gilded dreams set in this team? since kazuha is using 4pc vv anyway (sucrose can't cuz she'd be giving the ttds buff to someone else and not chong if she were the one to double swirl). where after bennet burst + kazuha burst, you swap to sucrose and do one normal attack to proc the 4pc effect, then her burst to proc her a4 passive, THEN swap to chong and pop his burst. bit of a tighter rotation considering kazuha's a4 passive buff only lasts 8 seconds, but might be doable idk. i don't have em main stat on all pieces of gilded yet, so it's gonna be a while before i can test this out for real. but in theory, this would allow chong to get away with much less em. maybe even zero em. so i can put him back on an atk sands and basically only focus on getting more crit on the substats.

(okay i did some testing, and the 4pc gilded effect does count towards her em share. and it's also much easier to just use her skill and swap out, since that apparently still counts the gilded buff.)

or alternatively, sucrose on 4pc vv and kazuha on 4pc gilded. and the rotation would be: chong skill - sucrose skill - swap to chong for ttds buff - bennett burst - kazuha burst - chong burst. it's just better to give chong kazuha's cryo swirl buff tho, and attempting to get both kazuha and sucrose to swirl cryo would make the rotation even tighter, to the point where it's almost impossible to get chong to burst before buffs start to expire. also the unfortunate thing about ttds is that the effect has a 20 second cooldown. so no matter which rotation i use, it's effectively only active every other rotation since the rotation is so short. unless i take my time recharging bursts but that's not ideal either. so i'm probably better off going the more comfortable route.

OR. use the first rotation, but put sucrose on 4pc tenacity instead. since she does her thing right before chong does his burst, he can pop his burst right before the 3 second tenacity buff expires. and then just stack literally all the em on her on every single piece so she still shares a lot of em with him.

you know what would be really amazing tho? a pyro catalyst who has good uptime on the tenacity set. in this team, they would give chong a total of 93% additional atk (not even counting bennett's burst+noblesse buff). which is WILD.

but putting that pipe dream aside, what i can realistically do to improve this chong build is level my other wanderer's pieces so he can keep his really good blizzard strayer atk sands and crit dmg goblet. honestly tho it'd be better to just switch to emblem. and then go 4pc shim for mono cryo so i'll at least have some use for all the shim pieces i'll be getting. i would go 4pc lavawalker, but i don't really have anyone i want to put on the crimson witch set so i can't be bothered to farm that domain. it's gonna be unfortunate to not have a use for my extremely good blizzard strayer pieces anymore, but it's worth it if it'll make chong stronger. plus if i ever feel like building cryo freminet, he can use chong's old cracked pieces.

I impulsively decided to make a f2p/low budget Kaeya guide so here

So, Kaeya. My first love in Genshin, sexy ice pirate man, ice dildo man, whatever. He’s hot, but get’s dropped once you get a better character. Well, I did that too, but now he’s level 80 and my main DPS. So, this is a f2p guide for the one, the only, Kaeya Alberich. 

Some things to consider

- Kaeya is much better at physical damage, I don’t really recommend cryo Kaeya because his basic ATK scaling is really high. I also think that Physical Kaeya is more f2p friendly so yeah

- Kaeya is much better as a dps at c1 (which I have and that’s why I decided to build him) though he can be good at c0 as his c1 is just extra crit rate 

Weapons

- Prototype Rancour is your best bet for the physical damage bonus

- I’ve heard that Aquilla Favonious is also good for him so if you luck out and pull that use it 

- For early game/three star weapons I don’t really remember what I used, but harbinger of dawn is pretty good, my brother said Fillet Blade too if you can get that refined 

- The Black Sword from the battle pass works on him too, but Prototype Rancour’s physical damage bonus is better over all 

- I think maybe The Flute could work too since you’re gonna be using charged attacks a lot 

Talents

- His basic ATK should be your main priority for this build

- His E sill and ultimate are your second priorities, I’ll tell you why later when we discuss team comps

Build

Now, in a perfect world, I’d show you my build. But, this is not a perfect world. Nor do i have a perfect build. So I’ll just tell you what stats and substats to use for him

- For set bonuses, I recommend either 4 piece gladiator or 2 gladiator and 2 bloodstained chivalry which is what I use

- As for stats I’d say that you need a physical damage bonus for your goblet, CRIT rate on your circlet, and ATK% on your timepiece (CRIT DMG tends to appear more in the substats for me, idk why but if you want you can get a timepiece with CRIT DMG) 

- With substats I’d recommend ATK%, CRIT DMG and CRIT RATE

- Elemental mastery is also handy since you are going to use his burst and E skill pretty often, though it isn’t going to be your main source of damage, it’s nice to have

- For early game artifacts, berserker and the martial arts sets are pretty good, as previously mentioned you can also use four piece gladiator 

- Basically for early game literally any set that gives you physical damage bonus/more attack is good 

Team Comps

I’m going to be completely honest I don’t really care about team comps but for the sake of this guide, I will give you some pointers 

- Kaeya doesn’t really need it, but an electro support will come in handy since superconduct lowers an enemy’s physical resistance (I used Beidou for a while for her ult)

- A pyro support is also a good idea for melt since his E skill is on a short cool down + his burst is fairly easy to get 

- Another cyro character will do a lot for him, Diona or Qiqi for example for healers + for the double cryo resonance bonus which is extra CRIT rate. This is super good for Kaeya since if you have him at c1 + plus you have good artifacts you’ll be hitting crits left and right

- I think an anemo character can work for swirl since having a further reach with his cryo DMG is pretty sick. I use Jean and her ult makes an AOE field, so take that + his cryo and you have Walmart Rosaria 

More Pointers for Kaeya

- If you do decide on electro support I really recommend Beidou with a lot of energy recharge since if you pop their ults together that’s constant superconduct and more damage

- He works surprisingly well with Diluc if you decide to run a team with these two, though he works more a support for Diluc. Personally they’re both my damage dealers (yeah I have two damage dealers, Diluc is relatively easy to build and doesn’t require a whole lot to jack out big numbers) 

- Having said you upgrade his basic attack a lot, that also means you get a lot more damage for your falling attacks, so a character like Albedo, Venti, or Geo Traveler can come in clutch 

- His charged attacks will give you most of your damage so be sure to use that 

- I do recommend cancelling his second to last and last attack where he teleports, it’s a really slow animation and his charged attacks to more damage anyways

To be completely honest with ya’ll, I only built this fucker because he was hot plus I wanted to spite the toxic side of the fandom that says Kaeya is trash

Also despite Kaeya being my main DPS, Jean really carries my team because without her I’d be fucking dead I really suck at avoiding attacks lol 

[witch-hazels-musings]

so i have venti on my team & he only does 7k max dmg with his skill. i have him at c0 with favonius warbow bc i will only be using him as support. i also have him on a 4 piece viridescent set. do you have any tips to make him better? i’ve been contemplating getting him a BP weapon like the viridescent hunt, but not sure. his crit rate is somehwere between 30-40% & his crit dmg is in the 100s.

-🎐🔶

*nervous laughter* I am sooo bad at building characters - uuuh for Support Venti ... it seems the best options are: 

1. Viridescent Venerer (full set - if you want the swirl bonus) - prioritize crit & energy recharge 

2. focus on bows that either: give orbs or increase elemental damage (skill / burst) 

3. only put resources into his skills (not normal attacks) 

4. find a fifth artifact that will either boost anemo, elemental reaction, or crit 

^these have been hazels strategy supports 101 (i use this website to help me too)

IV spent so much resin to get a 2- attack set, specifically the Shimenawa domain but NOTHING COMES OUT OF IT!! My Yoimiya has an almost FULL SET and Heizou has nothing

I raise a battle pass weapon for him, give him 2 piece vv already at level 20 and then raose 2 more random artifacts that are actually good and gove them to him..JUST FOR HIM TO HAVE 1700 ATTACK??

Like he is level 90, solar pearl as weapon, about 56-ish crit rate to 160-170 crit damage but his attack is so low???? And for what reason???

Like sir I raised 2 other characters to turn you into the avatar why do you do this to me 😭😭

i mean you can look at it this way, that's the most worth it domain cause a lot of characters can use either emblem or shimenawa so ur good heh

hmm if you have the widsith i think that's a good weapon for him? but i'm not sure cause i don't have him built so i can't help you out there too much fjjdjd,, but i think a 2pc atk and 2pc vv is good or if you want full on atk 2pc glad and 2pc shimenawa just get an anemo goblet!! and honestly a better crit ratio is better imo and you'd want to get your atk as high as you can but maybe raise your crit ratio to 65 atleast so he can crit more??

HELP FJDJJD THE WAY I LEVELLED UP YUNJIN JUST TO TEST DMG MY AYATO ONLY TO NEVER USE HER AGAIN 😭
